Hotel location, historical building, quite wide room, good breakfast, good restaurant, nice staff

The building's air condition was just above our room so it didn't get quiet when leaving the window open. You need to be honest and open regarding this with your guests. Staff didn't speak English very well, some didn't even understand Finnish. Maybe their Russian was better?

Everything as expected from Scandic. Nice modern room in the park building, excellent breakfast, cozy lounge bar to watch football.

The rooms in the separate building were perhaps a bit outdated but all in all a nice stay with friendly staff at the reception

Great location, friendly staff

Old, run down facilities, no airconditioning and many of the power outlets in the room did not work.

Perfect location for Saimaa Cycle Tour.

Great location, good breakfast. "New" building is outdated but clean

Duvets too narrow for a man. No tea/coffee facilities. No shower cap. Say a lady rather gruff when our granddaughter was using the pool. We didn’t realise it was closed.

Liked reception staff - friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good. Room size good. Bathroom good. Location good.

The quality of breakfast was poor for the Scandic hotel.

Nice location and fantastic area for walks. Large rooms.

It really is very expensive. We paid 149 Euros for two people for one night in the new building in mid-August, which appeared to be pretty much end of season.

We chose this hotel for the location next to the rapids, but in the event we arrived too late to see the 6:00pm brief unleashing of the waters. We also chose it for the architecture although we opted for the less expensive accommodation in the new building, which is physically separate from the original hotel, and can be accessed internally via a tunnel, or externally via a short walk. The original building is indeed an interesting example of national romantic architecture and is certainly not over-restored. The new building seems to have been very recently refurbished and our room was well-equipped and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, with a greater number of choices than we had at some other Scandic hotels and served in the original restaurant.

the view from the room

view from the room to river which was running during our whole stay and that is not normal the situation as river runs normally only during the river shows

Parking was difficult as the lot was full, no help from reception either in this respect, she did not get involved and let us know it is our own problem...

Breakfast was wonderful

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Excellent braekfast

The spa was a bit outdated and not everything was working properly, but it still was a nice addition to the experience.

Breakfast was amazing! One of the best vegan breakfasts I have ever had in a hotel. The hotel was beautiful and rooms comfortable.

Rooms are in need of renovation and upgrade.

The bathroom in our bedroom was quite tired (but clean). The ipad / tablet in the room is out of place, completely useless and just provides a messy tangle of wires to look at.

We booked a 'castle' superior room which was large and comfortably appointed with a very small balcony overlooking the famous rapids. Lots of comfortable places in the lobby to sit and have a drink and relax. Good food in the restaurant including breakfast which had every choice imaginable. The castle is quirky and certainly provided a memorable stay.

Amazing hotel. Like a castle. Great history lovely corridors and doors. A lot of choices at breakfast. So well organised and very tasty.. All the staff were very helpful.

Impressive historic building near Imatran Koski and Kruununpuisto park. Fine hotel interiors. Rich varied breakfast and restaurant (doesn't work on Sunday, but breakfast is served). Comfortable room. Sauna, pool and small gym are available.

We got a room with a black mold in the shower. The whole wall under the shower head was covered by the mold inbetween tiles. For 200+ € per night it is unacceptable and unbelievable. The reception suggested using a sauna facilities shower, which was located in another building, and nothing else - no room change or a partial refund. Only after a long discussion they agreed on changing the room for us. The whole hotel, both the castle building and the new building, does not have any air conditioning, only fans inside room. In the new building you can't even open the windows. We had two weeks of really hot weather here, and the hotel rooms were like a sauna.

Stayed in July 2025

The room was unbearably hot, without airconditioning and with locked windows. At midnight the room temperature was still 31 degrees. Staff didn't provide the key to open the windows, which I've never seen before. We moved to our car during the night. Of course there is a heatwave in Finland now, but this room would be uncomfortable on a sunny 15 degree day. It's a greenhouse with the sun inside and no way to cool it. These rooms should not be sold in summer if windows can't be unlocked. This hotel is probably nice in winter, but would recommend against staying in summertime.

Breakfast was good, the park and grounds around the hotel are pretty.

Stayed in July 2025

Needs some renovating. The room had a lot of dust. No possibility to open any windows admins it was really hot inside. Not really any interaction with the staff after check in.

The architecture and nature around.

Stayed in July 2025

Nothing to dislike really. Only the spa part was a little too tiny and had only one sauna, jacuzzi was a little too cold.

The hotel is an elegant art noveau castle with unique rooms. For relatively cheap price you can experience noble lifestyle for a night. Rich breakfast buffet. Great surroundings for exploring nature.
